China Bans Citrus Imports from Taiwan as Pomelo Season is Set to Start

Taiwan's pomelo season harvest is estimated to start around August 10. China announced the ban of citrus products from Taiwan on August 3, right before the start of the season. Taiwanese producers are worried since, in 2021, China received 70% of the total pomelo exports from Taiwan. Producers are searching for buyers in alternative destinations like Canada, Singapore, and Japan to prevent a price drop during the season.
